scraped from my boots and my head
adorned with the glossiest Of stylish
tiles. fastened back to where l had
frightened my hearts true love, but
they were gone. Half an hour later i
saw them again seated on a bench in
Union square, listening with apparent
interest to a man Bonded over them
with his back towards me. AS l APP
preached them without attracting their
attention, was enabled. with or with
out my consent, to overhear their con-
versation.
Whatever do you suppose we have
just passed through" inquired Miss
Spalding of her companion "a most
horrible looking Texan met us near
Washington square few minutes ago
and was about to insult us, know,
when screamed and he ran away"
1.-THE wretch" responded the man.
"What sort Of Hooking man was he"
"He wore light suit Of clothes, q
very broad-brimmed hat. and when he
got a block or two up the street he
lodged into store. Then we hurried
up here. where you found us, as fast as
we could come"
~ think / can throw little light
upon the identity of this miscreant,"
replied the man in a voice which half
recognized. 81 saw him rush into this
store from the center of the square.
He was that idiotic Bronson. have
no idea why he should try trick like
that unless because it occurred to his
mind that it might be smart or anus
ing. never have heard of his insult
ing any ladies before, though. But
am not surprised at any thing this i'm
beetle might do. understand" he
continued, with a malice purely Sa-
tanic, "that his friends had been con-
templating for some time past putting
him into retreat for weak-minded per.
sons"
At this moment patience being no
longer either virtuous or needful,
presented myself before my accuser and
his two listeners. There were two
feminine screams as the ladies rose
simultaneously from the bench and
and clutched, with every symptom of
uncomfortable fear, the arms of their
self-installed protector.
"Good afternoon, ladies'" observed
as calmly as possible.
"Never mind your apologies, fell
low" responded this absolutely de-
PRAYED wretch of Jenkins-for such
he turned out to bel will have my
footman attend to you later on"
With this rebuff, so stingingly applied,
the trio wheeled into line and marched
up the walk toward Broadway. What
was there left for me to dop l couldn't
spatter these ladies with his gore.
Even l had sense enough with all my
conflicting emotions which quite over
powered me, to sec that. So l left
them. If you receive telegram any
moment from me sent from the Tombs
and headlined "Murderers' Row." you
may know that I have done my duty.
Yours devo.edly until such time as

o'clock. At Blocker street met some
friends and we stopped on the corner
Here gave an exhibition of my luck
that would make less sensible man
take poison and die in agony and a
bow-knot in the middle of the floor
just as soon as not.
A gust of wind on its way up town
from the Battery-harmless sportive,
innocent gust of wind, that had gone
two miles and never touched hat,
swooped down on my new tile and
sent il rolling up the street like a col
lege football on most disgraceful
bender. There is no use of prolonging
the description. The faster ran the
faster the hat rolled through the mud
between blockades of street-cars and
drays, through the crowds on the
pavement block or so down muddy
gutter. Finally taking an offshoot it
came to stop in pool of water on a
side street. Two minutes later eight
policemen and several thousand citi-
/
and surrounded me and my hat as if
we had been malcfactors of more than
ordinary prominence. After running
behind an excited and muddy man sew
eral blocks followed by the population
of five or six wards it is not within a
policeman's nature to resist making
an arrest, and if had not submitted to
this outrage with a meckness that
Moses would have kicked at am sure
I would have been dubbed into the
bargain. Here my same luck put its
foot in its mouth as usual. After
passing through dozen streets or so,
followed by the same pestilential gang
of idlers, we reached the station house
where the sergeant promptly dis
charged me. After waiting until
the crowd faded out of sight,
/ rushed to hat store next
door--a cheap, antique store-I
bought the only Nat in it that fitted
me. 1t looked like very small and
inverted tin pail on the top of very
large and widespread umbrella, only
the edges turned up in roll. If had
worn my trousers in my boots and
looked thoroughly wicked could have
passed for a cowboy even under the
experienced gaze of the most expert
desperate yet un hanged.
In my excitement 1 failed to notice
my peculiar appearance, but thought
/ was exercising sagacity beyond my
usual wont in choosing an unfre-
quented thoroughfare to finish my
walk, for / did not fancy provoking
the curiosity Of street-car riders, and
Broadway with its crowds seemed I'M
bearable, and there wasn't a cab in
sight. Here is where my luck jumped
on me again. Before I had gone two
blocks whom should l meet but May
Spalding and Miss st. George, who
had been evidently indulging in little
innocent daylight Summing excursion.
They did not see me until / was close
to them, when actuated solely by i'm
pulse tried to raise my newly ac-
quired roof from my head. At this
moment Miss Spalding saw me and
gave scream that chilled what blood
was not already frozen within my per-
son. Remembering my hat when il
was alasl too late, I fed from the
spot like guilty thing. A few doors

Immediately after this the GAINESVILLE bana

blessed her. There were seven or eight thou

as 1t reposed on cushion, his friends fearing
Shat his age and feebleness would not allow Of

I?avlss, listened with joyous expression to
the kind words of both the old chief and his
faithful wife. Even the medal
sellers and fakirs left off crying their wares
and joined the procession. Captain Young, a
conductor on the Southwestern railroad, was
introduced as the man who had rebuked the
Grand Army of the Republic, of which he is
an honored member Captain Young said,
when on the way to Beauvoir, that he would
not have an accident happen for $4,000 as
people would say that the reason was because

Next came limping veteran, who remarked

assemblage, eyes know him. L have seen

was received with enthusiastic cheers.
AT this moment the sun, which had been
hidden all day, burst forth and illumined the
snowy locks of the aged chieftain, and the
people caught it up as glad omen and cheered
Yociferously. The band struck up Dixie"
and the procession moved on. After q few
minutes the greetings were ended, and Presi-
Gdent Northen arose and delivered short adj

Mr.. Davis, from his seat, said "From the
rqualty of your seed-eorn the harvest will be
most bounteous.'
Arising in ali the majesty of his manhood,

sounded like a prophecy:
